If passed a parentKey, deriveKeyFromPath has no way of knowing where in an HD path it's deriving a key. This makes it easy for consumers to generate invalid paths. We should add higher-level abstractions over deriveKeyFromPath to make it harder to generate invalid keys.

This may include the addition a wrapped key object that includes both the raw key and its associated path information.
